Life’s a Beach in Asia’s World City @ Hong Kong

16/08/2017 No Comments

Do you love the sun and constantly crave a dose of Vitamin Sea? Hong Kong is calling all beach lovers, thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts – yes, Hong Kong! It is often forgotten that Hong Kong is an island, surrounded by the sea; which presents a variety of amazing Hong Kong summer activities to keep you entertained and occupied, from the world famous Dragon Boat race to paddle boarding, kayaking, and canoeing.

Beyond its busy metropolitan façade, Hong Kong’s lesser-known beaches, geo park and lush natural beauty also make it the perfect place for your next holiday. Pack your sunblock cream and put on those sunglasses as we introduce you to some of Hong Kong’s wonderful hidden coastal treasures.

Beaches
Strategically located on the same small island as one of the world’s most important financial hubs, Hong Kong’s beaches play host to sunbathers, surfers and party goers. Lie in the golden sunshine, catch waves, network and party around sunset barbecues and other local cuisines. Whether you’re on holiday or on a business trip, take some time off to walk on sandy shores and soak up the sun, sand and sea. Life’s a beach — even in Hong Kong.

Big Wave Bay Beach, Shek O

Located on Hong Kong’s scenic eastern end, Big Wave Bay Beach is the go to spot for local windsurfers. It is also home to a prehistoric rock carving that is now preserved as a Declared Monument. Undiscovered until a police officer stumbled upon it in 1970, the rock carving shows geometric designs and animals, and is one of many similar carvings found around coastal areas of Hong Kong, indicating how much Hong Kong’s early inhabitants must have depended on the sea.

Cheung Sha Beach and Pui O Beach

When it comes to beautiful sun-kissed beaches, Pui O Village claims two of the best – Cheung Sha Beach and Pui O Beach. Frolick in the waves to cool off, meet new people, chill on the sand, and stick around for the beautiful sunset.

Hung Shing Yeh Beach’s clean water and fine powdery sand have long called locals and expats to its shores. It is the perfect spot to recline and relax on the sand, and also makes a great location for a sunset barbecue party.

Mui Wo and Silver Mine Bay Beach

If you like peace and quiet, Silver Mine Bay Beach at Mui Wo is the place for you. The Mui Wo valley was inhabited by farmers during the Ming dynasty (16^th century), who later became silver miners in the 19^th century. Surviving emnants of the mine can still be seen today, along with watchtowers built by the villagers to protect themselves from pirate attacks.

Repulse Bay Beach

Teeming with luxury resort vibes, Repulse Bay’s wide crescent-shaped beach remains a favourite with locals and visitors. Bask in the delightful rays of the sun, whether you’re taking a stroll, working on your tan or simply watching the sunset. The Bay is home to the Hong Kong Life Saving Society clubhouse, built in traditional Chinese style. Towering twin statues of deities Kwun Yam and Tin Hau dominate the gardens that lead down to the beach.

Tung Wan Beach and Kwun Yam Beach

After a hard week at work, surf-loving city dwellers head to the island of Cheung Chau to enjoy the waves, where Hong Kong’s Olympic windsurfing gold medalist Lee Lai-shan once trained. A popular year-round favourite with locals is Tung Wan Beach, with turquoise waters and charming night views of Aberdeen and Lamma Island. Give windsurfing, surfing and canoeing a go and whizz past unusual rock formations and the Mini Great Wall.

Sai Kung & Geo Park

Beyond Hong Kong’s glitzy façade, lies Hong Kong’s best-kept treasure – the northeast part of the New Territories, accessible only by sea are the nation’s true hidden gems. The relatively remote islands, rural villages, geological attractions (part of Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark) and unspoilt coastlines provide outstanding views and experiences of natural landscape, local ecological habitats and rural lifestyle; which reflect very much the diversity and contrast that Hong Kong offers.

As a major part of this region, Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark displays the most comprehensive stratigraphy of sedimentary rocks in Hong Kong, which includes extraordinary displays of 400-million-year-old Devonian sandstone and 55-million-year-old tertiary siltstone. The New Territories are rich in otherworldly land formations which are the result of geological and meterological erosion over time.

Paddle Boarding at Hoi Ha Beach

Take yourself on a tour of Hong Kong’s magnificent coastline over calm, clear waters at Hoi Ha Beach. With green mountains on the horizon, this designated Marine park allows views of wrecks, corals and other marine life to visitors. Due to the coral banks, it is best to glide over the area on paddle board rather than by boat which may potential damage coral or stir up the water and reduce visibility to the bottom.

Wakeboarding in Sai Kung

Have a need for speed? Want to feel the wind in your hair and adrenaline pumping in your veins? Try wakeboarding in the waters of Sai Kung Island. The sensation of trying to maintain your balance while you are being pulled by a speedboat is sure to get your heart racing.

Boat Cruise at Sai Kung Coastal Treasures

Take a boat cruise through Hebe Haven and Port Shelter in Sai Kung and sail to the Sai Kung East Country Park (part of the Hong Kong National Geopark). Enjoy spectacular views of hexagonal volcanic columns, sea caves, sea stacks and sea arches, as well as depositional landforms such as beaches and tombolos.You can also opt for a more rustic experience by touring the area by traditional wooden boats.

Kayaking at Bluff Island (Sha Tong Hau Shan) in Sai Kung

Explore scenic rock caves and reach out to beautiful parts of the Hong Kong coastline. Tucked away in Sai Kung Country Park, you can embark on an adventure to visit uninhabited islands and untouched beaches. Paddle through dramatic sea arches and past rocky caves while you marvel at Mother Nature’s architechture.

My first 3 Michelin Star Restaurant Experience – L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon @ The Landmark, Hong Kong

16/05/2015 3 Comments

Closing year 2014 by flying over to Hong Kong to attend my friends wedding. Knowing Hong Kong is another food paradise, I did dive into Google and start looking for all authentic local places that I have miss and also by asking Bangsarbabe on where is her recommendation. She also did mention, it would be very worth wile to experience on a Michelin Star restaurant, since Malaysia does not have any. I pick a few and ask my Hong Kong friend as I was very keen in trying Chinese Cuisine in Michelin star and all my picks were shot down whereby they mention it would be a waste of money to spend that kind of amount for those menu. Then I dig further till I found this restaurant L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon which is recommended by many prominent oversea bloggers. Was told to book at least 7-10 days in advance and through enough, it had to be that duration as I book less than 5 days thru their email before I fly and I am in their waiting list.

One of the reason why I am on waiting list is this is that this restaurant had been awarded three Michelin stars by the MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong and Macau for three consecutive years.

Upon reaching on the lobby, greeted professionally by the reception and was told to wait for a while at the reception and checking for availability, as in my heart hoping there will be some drop out for the lunch and lucky enough, there were a couple that drop out in the morning.

The decor of this outlet is based on the inspired decor from Tokyo with its design contemporary chic featuring lush red velvet seating complemented by dark wood furniture.

I was advise to book L’Atlier instead of LE’Jardin as I would enjoy more at L’Atlier where all diners can watch the chef in action in the open kitchen, just like watching Hell’s Kitchen.

Menu is pretty straight forward as its seasonal. Love their wine range too.

Since I have not tried before Portugal wine, decided to go with this for a start – Alvarinho, Poema, Portugal 2007. Love the refreshing taste with mild acidity.

Moments after that, there is a basket of fresh bread for me to start off with. A proper introduction with at least 7 different types of breads are available in the basket and I love all of them. Nearly finish the whole basket by myself.

Order the 4 course set lunch at HKD 588 and from the menu, my first dish I choose L’Aubergine – Fine Eggplant cream, seasonal vegetable and tuna confit. After looking at my neighbor La Saint – Jacques I regretted that I did not order that as the scallop that they give, its nearly as big as a small espresso cup and at least 3 pieces.

Was told by the introduce to try this first as the taste is mild before heading to my tuna. Amazing enough, I am above to taste the light sourish taste and love the jelly texture to end it. Something new to me.

As where I am seated, I am looking at this professional grill chef section taking care of scallop at a precise time and other dishes. Impress!

For soup I order LA Chataigne – Chesnut “veloute” with bacon and onion foam.

I guess I am over excited in this restaurant till I read the set menu wrongly whereby I thought I am able to order fishes side only that ended up me ordering Les Spaghettis – Maine Lobster spaghettis and coral emulation whereby their signature for this season menu is Le Cochon Iberique – Roasted Iberico pork “Pluma”with brocolli puree and hazelnut.

Ending my dessert with selection of La Poire – Cinnamon pear compote with carameal ice cream.

I totally forgot that I have their last set which is cafe ou the et ses mignardises – coffee/tea with confectioneries.

Love their coffee as its a special blend, blue mountain coffee and infuse with their own homemade cognac caramel syrup. AS you drink in, it is quite acidic for the long black, however once you have added in the cognac caramel, it have totally change the body texture to creamy, aromatic and turn to a perfect cup of coffee.

I enjoyed the whole experience as I find that the portion is pretty generous for such a price tag at HKD 800++ for set lunch .

It is encourage to make your reservation 3-4 weeks in advance as it is constantly fully book. You can make the reservation here.

Meals In Hong Kong Disneyland @ Crystal Lotus & Enchanted Garden

30/03/2012 No Comments

How can it be not to have a great meal in Hong Kong Disneyland itself, after we check in our hotel, Disney’s Hollywood Hotel, we quickly take our free bus ride from our hotel to Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel that have to make a transit change to another platform to transfer ourself to the hotel.

Upon arrival for the first time in this hotel, the decoration and architecture capture our attention and their hotel lobby is elegant Victorian style and will be greeted by two main Disney Character statue of Mickey and Minnie.

As we make our way for our first lunch of the day, we were taken to Crystal Lotus, only then I realise that its an award winning restaurant that offer outstanding cuisine from 4 districts of China, Sichuan, Beijing, Shanghai & Guangdong.

A contemporary dining experience that the place is very cosy and quite quiet even though many customers were in there.

Lets take a peek what they have for us . .

This is our lunch that being organise and all look so yummy or I should say be prepare to be drool . .

Duck Breast with Cucumber and sweetens paste, in Steam Piggy Mask Bun. This is just so cute, with the pig character on the mask bun that capture all of our attention or would say the star for the moment? 😀

Duck breast was prepare to perfection as the meat is chewy, mild in taste yet the layer of fats from skin pair with it very well. As we were saying, is 2 pieces enough for us? :p

Next we were greeted with Disney Dim Sum Platter

“Swan” Vegetarian Toro Puff that they make it creative by using beansprout to make the head of the swan. Interesting.

Steamed Mushroom and Vegetable dining

Steamed Vegetable Dumpling

Braised Seafood Soup with Mickey’s shape Pumpkinn

This seafood soup certainly make our day a great start with its excellent ingredient they have in it and I also believe they do cook some of the soup base first before cooking along the whole portion. Sweet in seafood taste, yet smooth texture of crab and prawns detected and if you do go , this is one of a highly recommended dish! Just do not add vinegar, it will spoil the freshness and taste of the whole soup.

Wok-Fried Shrimps and Disney Rot Vegetabe mix fm

Fried-Rice with Tasmanian Crabmeat stuff in whole Crab Shell

I have never seen rice being serve like that, and its a unique way to present food in this food presentation. Gold crab that the shell can be open . .kekeke ..

Rice fried to fragrant with egg which Hong Kong is famous for bake with cheeze on top and fresh crab was added in . .

Its hard not to camwhore with this cute little gold crab.

BabyVon also want to shot along .. kekek

“Duffy” steamed Red BeaN Purree Bun and Double Boiled whole Chinese Pear tapped with old mandarin.

Double boil chinese pear will be one of the unique desert I have come accross so far, did not know that pear can be double boil. The filling is soft and its like the add on something like ginseng root and I love the juice of it. Some did not like it because of the taste and I find it nice cuz its something new to me.

“Duffy” steamed Red BeaN Purree Bun too cute to be eaten. . .with the bun is soft and read bean purree had been mix well.

Cannot deny that this restaurant serve very good food and if you do visit or stay in here, do visit this restaurant as its worth trying.

Then we are ready to go into Disneyland as this are our entrance ticket.

If you are staying in this hotel then you get yourself to enjoy their huge souvenir shop, Kingdom Gifts for last minute shopping if you have miss out anything while you are in Disneyland. This will be the last big place you can get without paying any entrance fee. They have huge range of character for you to get.

Our next meal is our breakfast on the very next day. As we head back to the hotel again and I am quite surprise on what I have discover next to the buffet spread right below the hotel lobby.

This cute fun place is called The Little Princess that a room makeover for your kids. Parents gonna enjoy this and their kids will love them the most.

A little room with photography session that they will turn your cute kids even more cuter with all the costume. A few backdrop for you to choose.

Another place you must dine in when you stay in this hotel is their buffet breakfast at Enchanted Garden. One of the good reason that why you must dine in this breakfast buffet is that they have special guest appearence during the whole session of buffet which is, all of us are going to be greet by some Disney Character. Who? Find out at the end of my post .. 😀

The name of itself already make us looking forward to move into the restaurant as they have 2 sessions in this area and it is highly advise to book your slots as its usually fully book. They have first session from 7.30am – 9am, and 9.00 am to 11.30am.

Then they have the marble slab with mickey logo on fountain of water flowing ..

I love the whole ambiance of the area as they decorated it like a big indoor garden dining area .. .

Even on its outdoor, I wish to sit here as that morning it was pretty cold and windy just as I like but not many people love that kind of weather so opted to be seated in . . .

They have great range of selection for your breakfast and I believe before you enter theme park and you have a very heavy breakfast, could last you till end of the day . .:p It doesnt work on me tho . .

I always enjoy my heavy breakfast buffet with western style, toast bread, yogurt, fruits and sunny side up . .Cereal with milk is the way how I get my day kick start off ..

This is what I mean with special appearance of Disney Character that will be rooming around the restaurant for you to take pictures with them. One of the advantage is that you cut alot of long queue in the Disneyland whereby we can take it here fast and quick yet can chase after them for picture opportunity like other kids. . :p

All set, satisfied and ready to play all day long in Disneyland. .

Let it all begin as the morning begins with a chill weather of 18 celcious which is just perfect for jeans and t-shirt. . 😀 all walking so fast as cant wait to put our feet in it.

So check it out on Disneyland (click here)

Besides that, good news to all Muslim friends that now inside one of the cafeteria inside Disneyland is offering HALAL food which they have obtain and check it out what are the food that they are offering which this Tahitian Terrace Restaurant outlet is located in Adventureland:

Hong Kong Disneyland

23/03/2012 29 Comments

Disneyland is a word that often rings in our mind since we were a child, hoping to go and get a chance to enjoy ourselves right at the castle itself to see all our beloved character and by taking a picture would make it a very memorable one. One that had made it more possible to many kids around South East Asia as Hong Kong Disneyland which had open few years ago that make a big impact around the region. as the nearest we visit is Japan (still one of my dream). Now they had build one in Hong Kong that is located at Nantau Island which is easily access with public transportation. One of the way to get there is by their very convenient MTR train that 1/3 of the population board on it daily.

You can also purchase the ticket in advance for cheaper pricing compare to the ticket counter.

*REMARK – This is a very very long post filled with lots of pictures. Ur fingers might get tired or numb from scrolling!

If you are living around the city hotels you can easily access to many of the MTR line available as just to switch to head there. So how we travel to Disneyland is either by MTR or by Taxi as there are 3 brands of it too. The common taxi is the red colour as what we usually see in TVB series which is the most expensive, another one is Lantau Taxi that take passenger to Disneyland or the cheapest brand of all. One of the catch is to take a cab in Hong Kong is pretty much expensive therefore I would advise on taking their MTR. (more details click here)

This is one of a cool train as the connecting train from Sunny Bay Station to Disneyland, it is a special train that design to be more nice as the train is design in with Mickey Character. Mickey ears handle. .

Mickey Window Panel

Mickey mini statue

Disney’s Hollywood Hotel @ Disneyland Hong Kong

09/03/2012 No Comments

I have been to Hong Kong a few times already and here is one of my past places that I have visited (click here) Hong Kong Disneyland, one of the latest attraction in Asia yet if you are heading here with family and have not plan for your accommodation, there are 2 options that either you can stay at hotel at Disneyland where one of it is Disney’s Hollywood Hotel or you can opt to stay some where a bit far which is in the Hong Kong city itself as either way, it is very convenient with their available MRT public transportation.

As for this round before we head back to our country, we decided to change our accommodation and stay at this Disney’s Hollywood Hotel as Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel is fully booked. One of the reason we choose to stay here as Disneyland is pretty near the airport therefore after we check out we can direct head to the airport by MRT or taxi which save our time.

As we arrive at the hotel, the hotel concierge is very friendly by greetting us and helping to unload all our luggage from taxi and told us to check in leave our luggage here as once check in from the front desk, just provide our room number then they will send our luggage up,

This is cool, for the first time I see my room key with Toy Story, Woody pic in it. Was told by the front desk the key is for us to kept after checking out as a token of souvenir. I am gonna make it like my instant camera version by writting at the bottom when I am back.

There are 2 wings in this hotel . . . .

Even the lift panel button is with Mickey’s outline, really makes you like you are in Disneyland already even before you enter.

In the hotel, one thing I love also is the lift, filled with marble panel on the wall and blue glass frame as in when you are standing inside the lift in 3 dimension feeling.

Walkway brightly lit up and the room service crew were very friendly asking us need any assistance and just buzz them when need any.

Tadaaa.. this is our room, as I did not know that our room is filled with 2 queen size bed. Brightly light up, fill with all the room necessity we need, and the room come along with broadband and if you need WI-Fi its available at the lobby only. The internet connection in this hotel is super fast with 50MB speed provided even in lobby.

Mickey on the wall . .

32 inch flat tv provided and first 10 channel are all on cartoons.. I think total there are about 50 channels for you to watch . .

Toilet is pretty spacious with clean and simple interior

Mickey paper cup for you if you bring any drink along with Mickey Lid ..

Even Conditioner and Bath Gel with Mickey cap. .

Not only that, in the room they provide good tea brand Dilmah . .and didnt know Nescafe is in the room too . .I thought would be another brand. :p

Disneyland sugar. . :d

These slipper were given to us and also were ask to take it home.. now become my room slipper. . yay~

Oh ya, I choose the sea view and had a great view out from my room window . just perfect for every morning when I wake up . .

This is the pool view or garden view that my friend book themselves for ..

On our hotel lobby, they have souvenir shop if you forgot or need to grab more items, this would be the last destination for you to do so.

and check out my hotel night view, with mickey logo glowing .. .

Overall, it was a pleasant stay with great hotel service staff as they are very helpful in many manner. Our hotel room rate is HKD 1700 = about RM 850.

Besides that, to go to Disneyland they have Disney bus to take you there from all hotels with every 10-15 minutes per bus, and to head to Disneyland it is just 5 minits bus ride which is FOC. A service provided by the hotel.

For more info checkout their website – Disney’s Hollywood Hotel

Next round if I do come again, one of my dream is target to stay Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, with cheapest room rate starting from HKD 1900. check it out their website how cool this hotel is. (click here)
